Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of the talking horse in the Narnia series by C.S. Lewis?

Answer: Bree

Bree's actual name was much longer than that, but "Bree" is the way he is referred to most often. A talking Narnian horse enslaved by the Calermenes, Bree escaped to Narnia with the boy Shasta in the book "The Horse and His Boy". Other talking Narnian horses included Hwin and Fledge, who could also fly.
2. What does the word "brig" mean?

Answer: All of these

A brigantine is a ship, and putting someone "in the brig" is a nautical term for putting him in prison. "Clapping him in irons" is another term. Just as "General" is abbreviated to "Gen.", so "Brigadier" can be abbreviated to "Brig.".
3. A movie musical starring Gene Kelly concerned a town that woke from sleep only once a century. What was its name?

Answer: Brigadoon

"Brigadoon" was the name of the musical and the town. The musical has a number of well-loved scenes and songs - "I'll go Home with Bonnie Jean" is one.
4. Who invented the Bandersnatch?

Answer: Lewis Carroll

The "frumious Bandersnatch" appears in the poem "Jaberwocky", which in turn appears in "Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There", which was published in 1872.
5. Which of these is a term for a male kangaroo?

Answer: Boomer

A male kangaroo is a boomer or a buck, and a female is a doe or a blue flyer. The young one is a joey.
6. Which of the following is an English country term for a badger?

Answer: Brock

Badgers are sometimes known as "Brock". The other words all refer in some way to foxes. Beatrix Potter refers to "Tommy Brock" in "The Tale of Mr Tod", published in 1912.
7. Which of these is an Australian river monster?

Answer: Bunyip

The bunyip, like the yowie, is an Aussie monster. It crops up in a lot of books, including "A Boggle of Bunyips", "The Bunyip Hole", "Bunyips Don't" and "The Bunyip of Berkley Creek".
8. Bad Bob knew Joe Blake had some information. In the course of negotiations, Bad Bob told Joe that Joe would never see Tom Babbit again if he revealed the information. Was this blackmail or a bribe?

Answer: It could have been a bribe or blackmail

Whether Bad Bob's words were blackmail or a bribe depends on how Joe Blake felt about Tom Babbit.

If Joe liked Tom, then Bob was blackmailing Joe by saying he would never see his friend again if he revealed what he knew.

If Joe hated or feared Tom, then Bob was bribing Joe with a promise that Tom would never bother him again if he revealed what he knew.
9. Which of the following is one definition of a blagger?

Answer: A criminal

Blagger is British slang for some kinds of criminal. The verb form is "to blag". The term is employed on the British TV programme "The Bill".
10. What is a banger?

Answer: All of these

Sausages served with mashed potatoes are sometimes known as "bangers and mash". An old car is sometimes termed "my old banger", and a banger is also a firecracker that simply makes a loud bang.
